Stolen livestock. A determined heir. A fateful choice.

Alex spends his days learning to manage the family sheep ranch. He wants nothing more than to take over when his parents retire, because his family has owned and worked it since the Westward Expansion.

But all is not well in Southwestern Wyoming.

Five neighboring ranches have been raided, all their livestock stolen without a trace… each on a new moon. Alex feels his family’s ranch is next and decides to spend the night with the flock when the next new moon comes around.

That decision changes his life forever.

How will Alex survive in an alien society?

Then a chance encounter with a stranger from the other side of the galaxy threatens to derail what remains of Scout’s life. The entire galaxy awaits her, if she survives the next four days.

An Extra Space Squad 51 Adventure!

The galaxy just got ridiculous. Space Squad 51 is on the job.

Nikili Echols works the docks, living a quiet, predictable life until the freighter Red Dorry is late. When the ship opens, the crew is gone. Orbital Rescue Services Squad 51 arrives, assuring Nikili everything will be all right. But when they go in, screams and roars erupt from inside, and a smear of blood is left at the hatch.

Nikili knows the team and crew need help before more ORS teams can arrive. Stepping into the unknown, she faces a threat she never imagined involving black lights, boy band beats, and monstrous livestock.

Meeting Space Squad 51 ignites a spark in Nikili: the hope that one day, she can be like them.

Space Worms is a thrilling, humorous space opera adventure about courage, discovery, and embracing the idea of becoming something else.
